Burden of Maternal and Neonatal Disorser in Nepal from 1990 to 2019; Analysis of Data from Global Burden of Disease Study: An Observational Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Nepal continues to face significant challenges with high maternal and neonatal mortality. To improve health and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of reducing maternal and newborn mortality by 2030, Nepal needs to focus on addressing high-burden maternal and neonatal disorders. The objective of the study was to examine the current burden of maternal and neonatal disorders in Nepal and to assess any changes over time. Methods: We examined the annual Global Burden of Disease Study data on prevalence, deaths, Years Lived with Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years for maternal and neonatal disorders in Nepal for the 1990-2019 period. Estimated annual percentage changes were also calculated to assess the trends of the age-standardised rates of these burden metrics. Results: The analysis found that the prevalence of overall maternal disorder in Nepal decreased by 37% from 128,176 in 1990 to 80,724 in 2019 with Age-Standarised Ratio of 432.07 per 100,000 in 2019 and Estimated Annual Percentange Change of -4.34 (CI 95%: -4.49 to -4.18). Similarly, the overall prevalence of neonatal disorder increased by 57% from 303,146 in 1990 to 475,544 in 2019 with Age-Standarised Ratio of 1521.14 per 100,000 in 2019 and Estimated Annual Percentage Change of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.67-1.29). Conclusions: Our findings emphasise the need to address maternal haemorrhage, indirect maternal deaths, maternal abortion and neonatal disorders in Nepal in future national health programs.
